Forums Closed
|
As of January 1, 2019, we have closed our forums. This is a decision we did not come to lightly, but it is necessary. The software our forums run on is just too out-of-date and it poses a significant security risk. The server software itself must be updated, and it cannot be without removing the forums.
So it is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to our long-running forums. They came online in 2000 and brought together so many wonderful Disney fans. We had friendships form, careers launch, couples marry, children born ... all because of this amazing community.
Thank you to each of you who were a part of this community. You made it possible.
And a very special thank you to our Guides (moderators), past and present, who kept our forums a happy place to be. You are the glue that held everything together, and we are forever grateful to you. Thank you aliceinwdw, Caldercup, MrsM, WillCAD, Fortissimo, GingerJ, HiddenMickey, CRCrazy, Eeyoresmom, disneyknut, disneydani, Cam22, chezp, WDWfan, Luvsun, KMB733, rescuesk, OhToodles!, Colexis Mom, lfredsbo, HiddenMickey, DrDolphin, DopeyGirl, duck addict, Disneybine, PixieMichele, Sandra Bostwick, Eeyore Tattoo, DyanKJ130, Suzy Q'Disney, LilMarcieMouse, AllisonG, Belle*, Chrissi, Brant, DawnDenise, Crystalloubear, Disneymom9092, FanOfMickey, Goofy4Goofy, GoofyMom, Home4us123, iamgrumpy, ilovedisney247, Jennifer2003, Jenny Pooh, KrisLuvsDisney, Ladyt, Laughaholic88, LauraBelle Hime, Lilianna, LizardCop, Loobyoxlip, lukeandbrooksmom, marisag, michnash, MickeyMAC, OffKilter_Lynn, PamelaK, Poor_Eeyore, ripkensnana, RobDVC, SHEANA1226, Shell of the South, snoozin, Statelady01, Tara O'Hara, tigger22, Tink and Co., Tinkerbelz, WDWJAMBA, wdwlovers, Wendyismyname, whoSEZ, WildforWD, and WvuGrrrl. You made the magic.
We want to personally thank Sara Varney, who coordinated our community for many years (among so many other things she did for us), and Cheryl Pendry, our Message Board Manager who helped train our Guides, and Ginger Jabour, who helped us with the PassPorter-specific forums and Live! Guides. Thank you for your time, energy, and enthusiasm. You made it all happen.
There are other changes as well.
Why? Well, the world has changed. And change with it, we must. The lyrics to "We Go On" for IllumiNations say it best:
We go on to the joy and through the tears
We go on to discover new frontiers
Moving on with the current of the years.
We go on
Moving forward now as one
Moving on with a spirit born to run
Ever on with each rising sun.
To a new day, we go on.
It's time to move on and move forward.
PassPorter is a small business, and for many years it supported our family. But the world changed, print books took a backseat to the Internet, and for a long time now it has been unable to make ends meet. We've had to find new ways to support our family, which means new careers and less and less time available to devote to our first baby, PassPorter.
But eventually, we must move on and move forward. It is the right thing to do.
So we are retiring this newsletter, as we simply cannot keep up with it. Many thanks to Mouse Fan Travel who supported it all these years, to All Ears and MousePlanet who helped us with news, to our many article contributors, and -- most importantly -- to Sara Varney who edited our newsletter so wonderfully for years and years.
And we are no longer charging for the Live Guides. If you have a subscription, it's yours to keep for the lifetime of the Live Guides at no additional cost. The Live Guides will stay online, barring server issues and technical problems, for all of 2019.
That said, PassPorter is not going away. Most of the resources will remain online for as long as we can support them, and after that we will find ways to make whatever we can available. PassPorter means a great deal to us, and to many of you, and we will do our best to keep it alive in whatever way we can. Our server costs are high, and they'll need to come out of our pockets, so in the future you can expect some changes so we can bring those costs down.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your amazing support over the years. Without you, there's no way us little guys could have made something like this happen and given the "big guys" a run for their money. PassPorter was consistently the #3 guidebook after the Unofficial and Official guides, which was really unheard of for such a small company to do. We ROCKED it thanks to you and your support and love!
If you miss us, you can still find some of us online. Sara started a new blog at DisneyParkPrincess.com -- I strongly urge you to visit and get on her mailing list. She IS the Disney park princess and knows Disney backward and forward. And I am blogging as well at JenniferMaker.com, which is a little craft blog I started a couple of years ago to make ends meet. You can see and hear me in my craft show at https://www.youtube.com/c/jennifermaker . Many PassPorter readers and fans are on Facebook, in groups they formed like the PassPorter Trip Reports and PassPorter Crafting Challenge (if you join, just let them know you read about it in the newsletter). And some of our most devoted community members started a forum of their own at Pixie Dust Lane and all are invited over.
So we encourage you to stay in touch with us and your fellow community members wherever works best for you!
Best wishes for a wonderful and magical new year!

Re: medival times.........
Haven't been to the one at Kissimmee but we have been to the one in NJ and it is alot of fun. We just drove by it Thursday on our way to the Astros/Mets baseball game and it is closed right now. They are building a new one right near the Super Walmart on rte 192 (just down the road from the old one). It is about 3 times the size of the old one. The old building is vacant right now with a for sale sign on it. It looks like the new one will be completed in a few months. From Downtown Disney it really is not that far but with all the construction and traffic lights, it will take you about 40-45 minutes.

Re: medival times.........
I didn't know they were building a new facility at Medeivel Times in Kissimmee...
I have been to the Kissimmee MT show several times over the years. I have enjoyed it a lot each time; the meal is good but nothing terribly special, and the show is excellent and very thrilling.
You must get there early to get your choice of seating groups. There is a bar in the waiting area so you can have a drink or two while you wait, and a bunch of counters selling various souveniers like swords. It's not hard to keep busy if you arrive 90 minutes or more before the show.

Re: medival times.........
I may be in the minority, but I hated it. The seating area is really dark, and you don't get utensils. So you're expected to eat rotisserie chicken, vegetables and a few other things with your hands. In the dark it was really gross just feeling around for your food! The food was way below par, anyway, and the entire arena smelled like horses [img]/ubb/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] It wasn't a great experience!

Re: medival times.........
I went to the one in Kissimee and the one in NJ and while the show was entertaining and my knight finally won when i went to NJ lol I just don't see myself needing to go back. If your family is interested in it check to see if its going to be open when your down there and go it might be something you enjoy.

Re: medival times.........
I went to Arabian Nights a few years ago and LOVED IT. My sister who has been to both AN and MT says AK is MUCH better. I am really not into eating with my hands so I don't think I would like MT!

Re: medival times.........
I have been to the Medieval Times dinner show in Toronto and absolutely loved it. We paid a little bit extra for a special package that got us ringside seats and some souvenirs, including a DVD of the show and a programme. Also, because it was my birthday, as part of the package, I got to have my picture taken with the king where he made me a lady of the realm (I even got to wear a robe and crown and the whole nine yards). It really was a blast. As for the whole eating with your hands thing, the food they serve is very easy to manage without utensils (chicken leg, baked potato, soup in a cup so that you can drink it, etc.) If you're a horse lover or someone who enjoys the whole King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table stuff, then you will probably love this experience - I know I did.
Joy
